Fun facts

Twin Mills Park is located parallel to Twin Mills Boulevard in northwest Fort Worth.

The geology of the park is solidly in the Fort Worth Limestone and Duck Creek Formations. Fort Worth Limestone contains marine megafossils such as pecten, oysters, echinoids and ammonites. Duck Creek is calcareous nodular limestone and marl.

The soils are of the Slidell series; which are very deep, moderately well drained, slowly permeable soils that formed in calcareous, clayey sediments laid down during the lower Cretaceous age. Due to the clay soils holding water longer, parts of the park can be ephemeral wetlands. Dominant species are black willow, hackberry, and some mesquite on the slightly higher elevations. The marshy areas are lined with cattails, which provide refugia for dragonflies and damselflies, frogs, and some small fish species; all of which are great predators of mosquitoes. The wetlands also provide birds with plenty of food and nesting opportunities.
